New Truck

[rottiedog]

Got my deuce from Bob today. Nice!!! Loud!!! Getting ready for a few projects already. Steering is tight but would think that power steering is on the top of the mod list. Brakes would be second.

Lots of questions to come.....

Nice lookin truck you got there.

I think I remember seeing that truck for sale a year or two ago. In Florida maybe? The paint and the dual 11R20s make it look familiar.

I like it. The bed is at the correct height. Tires look righteous. Do you plan on a disc change over?

Yes, disc brakes are high on the list. Been reading up on that on here. Would like to singles in the rear.

Any recommendations? Wish there was a nice sticky note on EXACTLY what is needed for power steering and disc brakes. What donors are good to steal from....

Just drove the beast to Target to get tupperware. Lots of fun!! Spent more on fuel than I did on plastic crap.

Going to spend some time in the TM to fix wipers and horn. After that, time to start mods. Going to sell some of the other toys to fund this toy. This might be my favorite out of the convoy in the driveway.

Let me know what you come up with on the disk brakes. I have checked with quite a few places with no good results. USA 6x6 carries them, but everyone on this site says to stay clear of them. Mark at Boyce Equipment says that as soon as some one comes up with a quality product he will start carrying it. All of them that he has tested has come back as a piece of crap.

For disk brakes, search around on Pirate4x4. I know someone there was making a disk brake setup for the Deuce axles. I believe they were using F550 calipers and rotors from something else with a custom bracket.

is your kit air or hyd. or both, and what all is included?

 

[Offroadfabworks]

Hydraulic. 2 options. first one comes with pump (mounts to engine), gear box, arm, shaft to adapt to stock steer arm, lines, reservoir. Basically take it apart about the firewall and replace it all to the steering arm.

if you really want to you can also add a hydraulic assist cylinder to it.

rottiedog,
Welcome to the disease. There is no cure. It gets in your blood and is all but impossible to get out. I fell in love with the deuce the first time that I drove one. Took me 9 years to get my own. I am always trying to figure out some way to make it bigger, better, faster, jump higher, etc. Money seems to be the biggest hold up for me.

Nice looking ride, have tons of fun! ! ! !
